Questions About The Programme
No. The 131-credit programme is delivered primarily at KMUTT in Thailand. QMUL professors travel to Bangkok under the "Flying Faculty" model to deliver 20 core robotics and AI modules directly on campus. Upon completion, students graduate with degree awards from both KMUTT and QMUL (a UK Russell Group University) without incurring the higher cost of living in London.
The Russell Group represents 24 leading UK universities committed to maintaining the highest standards of research and academic excellence. Receiving a degree from a Russell Group institution like QMUL provides students with top-tier global recognition, enhancing postgraduate and global employment opportunities.
Yes. At KMUTT, the programme is aligned with the Bachelor of Engineering in Automation Engineering framework and subject to approval and accreditation by the Thailand Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation (MHESRI). Internationally, the program is subject to accreditation by the UK Engineering Council according to the Washington Accord, as well as maintaining full alignment with UK academic quality frameworks (OfS and QAA).
QMUL academic staff travel to KMUTT to conduct intensive lecture periods, tutorials, and laboratory sessions across 20 subjects. Between flying faculty sessions, learning continues seamlessly using digital platforms—both KMUTT’s LEB2 and QMUL’s QMPlus system—supported by local teaching teams.
The programme includes a mandatory 2-credit summer industrial training or short-term research module (RAI 381). Students leverage KMUTT's extensive network of industrial alumni across manufacturing, automation, and AI sectors in Thailand, providing strong placement opportunities and practical career readiness.
Since the programme is taught in English and involves academic delivery from a UK university, applicants must demonstrate strong background knowledge in Mathematics and Physics, alongside English language proficiency meeting international academic standards.
The annual tuition fee is set at 450,000 THB. This rate is benchmarked directly against QMUL's tuition fee for local UK students, which is £10,000 GBP per year. The fee covers academic instruction from both institutions, access to QMUL online libraries, QMPlus and LEB2 platforms, and laboratory facilities at KMUTT.
All accepted students hold full-time student status at both KMUTT and QMUL. Upon QMUL approval, students are permitted to travel to the QMUL campus in London and register for classes there for a semester. However, students choosing this option will be subject to paying the tuition fee at QMUL's international student rate for that period.
